SWIMMER TO WATCH >> Barrios has his sights set on breaking the OK Red Conference record in the 100 breast. He also looks to finish top eight in two events at the Division 1 state meet.

COACH'S OUTLOOK >> "With a solid group of returning state qualifiers and depth swimmers, the Panthers hope to bring home their fifth straight OK Red conference championship. After finishing fifth last season, the team is very focused on putting in the necessary work for a top for state meet finish and bring home a trophy." — Bowyer

SWIMMER TO WATCH >> Same four as above as returning state qualifiers and leaders on the team both in the water and out. Their training ethic and belief in the program. They understand what it takes and are willing to do that and pull the others along so that all our competitors will stand up and realize that Holland swimming is taking those important steps in rebuilding our program and helping the rest of the team on that journey.

COACH'S OUTLOOK >> "I am very excited to be leading this group of young men into the 2017-18 season. We have begun to rebuild our program over the past few years and have our minds set on continuing that journey forward. Holland has four new sophomore and junior swimmers joining our squad this year which shows me that they understand what we are striving to become and want to be part of the future." — Shears

Holland Christian

COACH >> Todd Smeenge, 16th season

LAST YEAR >> Tied for OK Green Conference title, third at D3 state meet

SWIMMER TO WATCH >> Watch the above four, VanSoest said. They are a fun group with a lot of talent and promise. It should be fun to see how this year unfolds for them,

COACH'S OUTLOOK >> "This year is going to be an interesting one for the Zeeland men. We have the potential to really turn some heads as the state meet rolls around. We are very focused in practice, and our seniors are providing a very good example for how our younger guys should approach training for the year." — VanSoest
